I hate to tell you this, but if you really need to know this type of information because you are trying to design or budget for a plant, you really need to hire an electrical consulting engineer.

Both undersizing and oversizing the electrical capacity for a plant have a tremendous impact on the bottom line. It is well worth the $5k that it will cost you for decent EE.

Hopefully this isn't coming across as belligerent - it isn't meant to be. Learn from my experience. If your management team isn't willing to spend the money needed to hire an EE for such an issue - you might be in the wrong place. You will get your $5k back.

Now, if you are trying to challenge the assertions brought forth by a contract EE that you hired - that is a different story. In that case, you should list for us what is being asserted, give us a little more context and we might be able to pick apart and critique their answer.

A Consulting Electrical Engineer is someone that one attaches temporarily to the organisation to carry out the investigation and calculations, and produces the recommendations in a report at the end of the assignment for the organisation to act upon. The individual selected will have the apprpriate knowledge, skills, experience and qualifications to carry out the task, and will carry professional indemnity insurance as a protection against the calculations being in error and the business loss occurring because of them.

Try the organisation's purchasing office in the first instance, as they will most likely have had approaches made to them by appropriate individuals. Alternatively, produce a work package description document and send it to the organisation's human resources office for them to act.

I don't think it's a serious question, I think it's a homework assignment and the "guest" OP is bucking for a management job.

I say that because a "real" engineering student should be looking for how to learn the answer, whereas an management student would look for a way to get someone else to do his work for him...

Hi all

I just want to add a little but will not disclosed the identity as this might hurt someone

but again good advices for learners any place from the world but for the people who likes to follow culture of " copy & paste "

There is a huge project is going on and main consultant is from here (UK) This consultants are good and on the other hand the local consultant which they call them self house of engineer actually it is house of egyptians who pretend to be engineers by a qualification 2 months degree in egypt = 4 yrs MEng in UK really that is true you can find a lot of them in big posts so the local designer was having the meetings with consultants here then it was later reveal that the debate from master engineers was based on 10 years old project a complete copy paste which they had in scanned formed which was designed by a US consultant *****ins .As an electrical engineer we know that in every aspect the situation and conditions are different and which change the basic configuration of the equipment used even a simple cable laying can cause lots of saving for correct size based on correction factors as per BS 7671 or IEC or NEC .We are amazed for this wonderful God Bless on pyramids .

load caluction is total load = 100% of continous load + 20% intermittent load + 10% standby load. will give u the total load.

AS stated in reply#10. Total up all load after using demand factor which means some load is used half the time, then demand factor is .5 etc. etc. find out intermittent and cont. load and proceed. for more help mail at rajk@gmx.us.reply will be given.

Guest,

You are not even meeting us halfway on this one. You have not provided a fraction of the information needed.

Regards,

Paul
